Cruz: GOP Rivals ‘Mimicking’ My Outsider Message
Sen. Ted Cruz on Friday mocked his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination for adopting his anti-establishment message.
“If you look at the debate stage, whether California or Cleveland, you see the candidates standing there, and suddenly, everyone is standing up to the Washington cartel,” Cruz said at the Heritage Action Presidential Forum in South Carolina. “I think that’s fabulous. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.”
“That’s great, you’re adopting rhetoric today against Washington,” Cruz continued. “If you want to be an outsider, fabulous. Show me where you stood and fought against career politicians in both parties.”
Cruz has consistently bashed the other GOP contenders as “campaign conservatives.”
On Friday, Cruz sought to frame himself as the most conservative Republican presidential nominee.
